Really cool spot, great place to try many different types of food. Love the concept.

Favorite place by far with an excellent concept!

My wife and another couple attended the FrameJames Beard dinner last night. We attended a year ago and it was amazing. Last night the food did not taste good. The Octopus and the pistachio baklava were decent. Everything else did not taste good at all. The ice cream was served in small cartons instead of scooped onto a dish. Our whole table was heavily disappointed. At $313 per couple for this tasting we feel we were heavily taken advantage of and will not be returning to this event. The rest of our table was very unhappy with Friday nights meal and will not be returning. Also cramming 60 people into a space created such a loud environment that you couldn’t hear your friends speaking. A big thumbs down Frame.

I ate here on Wednesday night (Feb 7 2024) with a large group, 12 people for a friend's birthday, and it was fantastic! The food and drinks were incredible, but I was most impressed with our server, a guy with a black beanie and beard. Our group split our check into 6 different checks and I imagine it was such a pain to organize everything given we all had multiple plates and drinks. He was so friendly, helpful, and just a great server. Thanks for a great experience! I have also been once before and it was great then too. Love this place

If you want a one of a kind dining experience, make sure you go to an event that Chef Barrera is curating. SteakBAR was out of this world. Every bite is an architecture of flavor that develops and refines your meal as you progress through each dish. The layers of flavor are transcendent and I can honestly say it was the best meal I have ever eaten.

PS - I have to add - There was absolutely nothing regarding prices on the website. Never imagined Asian food would be this astronomical and I've traveled extensively. Feel very taken advantage of.

I have been to two rotations of Chefs Gabriel and Gabriela Botezan’s menus and loved them both. The food has been outstanding, as well as the cocktails. The menu and drinks are very thoughtfully curated to fit the menu’s theme.

I only was here so my daughter could do an interview, so I didn't go in and it was during the day time so it wasn't open yet but, looked very well kept and nice from the outside, easy to find and a ramp for wheelchairs.Wheelchair accessibility: I saw a nice ramp.
Very slow service and mediocre food. $74 steak was luke warm, very tough and pretty flavorless. Caesar salad was underwhelming. Everyone was friendly but the place was simply not being well run. Paid way too much for this experience.

PolishBar was disappointing experience - certainly lacking in Polish hospitality.This place charges a lot for food that is prepared banquet style - Certainly not gourmet. Better food & service at local area ethnic restaurants.

I'm just wrapping up my meal now. I'm here for STEAKbar and I can say, without question, this is the best food I've eaten in my life. This menu is a treasure and Chef Barrera is deeply knowledgeable and skilled. I would add a 6th star without question if that were an option.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Transylvanian Christmas Menu, and I must say it was a delightful culinary journey. The menu featured a selection of traditional Romanian dishes that showcased the unique flavors and ingredients of the region.To start, I enjoyed the "Mamaliga" (Polenta) with Creamy Polenta, Wild Mushroom Ragu, and Crispy Bacon. The polenta was cooked to perfection, with a creamy texture that complemented the earthy flavors of the wild mushroom ragu. The crispy bacon added a delightful crunch and savory note to the dish.Next on the menu was the "Langos," a delicious treat consisting of a fried bread topped with Sour Cream, Feta Cheese, and Garlic. The combination of tangy sour cream, creamy feta cheese, and aromatic garlic created a harmonious blend of flavors that left me craving for more.One of the standout dishes was the "Varza a la Clui," which featured Sauerkraut, Rice, and Ground Pork. The sauerkraut provided a tangy and slightly sour taste, perfectly balanced with the savory ground pork and fluffy rice. This comforting dish showcased the rich and hearty flavors of Romanian cuisine.The main course, "Porc," consisted of a tender and juicy Pork Shoulder Steak served with Hand Cut Fries and Garlic Sauce. The pork was cooked to perfection, retaining its succulence and flavor. The hand-cut fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, while the garlic sauce added a delightful zing to the dish.To end the meal on a sweet note, I indulged in the "Dulcegarii de Särbätori," a Walnut and Rum "Cozonac" Sweet Bread, along with Traditional Mini Melt-in-Your-Mouth Crescents. The "Cozonac" was moist and loaded with the rich flavors of walnuts and rum, while the mini crescents melted in my mouth, leaving a lingering sweetness.Overall, the Transylvanian Christmas Menu provided a wonderful culinary experience that transported me to the heart of Romania. The carefully crafted dishes showcased the vibrant flavors and traditional ingredients of the region. The attention to detail in both preparation and presentation was evident, and the friendly and knowledgeable staff added to the overall dining experience. I would highly recommend this menu to anyone seeking an authentic taste of Romanian cuisine.Congratulations to Gabi, Gabriela and the whole team!
